Description
This program offers a structured deep dive into Operating System Security, focusing on how modern OS architectures enforce confidentiality, integrity, and availability at the system core. Participants will explore kernel design, secure boot chains, file system protection, OS hardening, logging, auditing, and sandboxing mechanisms across Windows and Linux environments.
Through real-world breach case studies and hands-on security scenarios, the program bridges theory with operational defense practices such as access control, encryption at rest, EDR, SELinux, and container isolation. Designed as an online offering, it is open to students, practitioners, and faculty seeking to strengthen foundational and applied OS security knowledge critical for enterprise, government, and defense-grade systems.
